Reviews

Beckett’s work has featured on the London Stage since the 1950s. This book lays out, clearly and comprehensively, a crucial part of the history of Beckettian theatre, and its relation to a particular, and very prominent, part of the international theatre ecosystem. * David Pattie, University of Birmingham, UK *
